Frequently Asked Questions
Is my donation tax deductible?
Yes. You will receive an email receipt of your contribution, which you can use to complete 2024 tax filing to the IRS for a tax deduction.
Who will be the recipients of the donated instruments?
Columbus area schools, after school programs, and other affiliate non-profits.
I don’t have any spare instruments; how can I help?
You can donate to our Gift of Music Givebutter!
Will you accept instruments in need of repair?
Instruments that require simple repairs like broken guitar strings, broken drum heads, and horns in need of new pads are fine. We also need amplifiers, reeds, and saxophone and guitar straps.
Can I donate large/difficult to move instruments?
We will take most instruments that can be carried easily by two individuals, such as upright basses, keyboards, timpani, and even xylophones and marimbas. However, we do not take pianos or organs due to our donation recipients seldom having a need or use for them.
